..is it a bit too soon to start voting for the best song/album of 2013....?....

Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know

Twenty thousand people
Gross Bose Brucke
Fingers are crossed
Just in case
Walking the dead

Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know
As long as there’s sun
As long as there’s sun
As long as there’s rain
As long as there’s rain
As long as there’s fire
As long as there’s fire
As long as there’s me
As long as there’s you

David Bowie's new single 'Where Are We Now?' won't chart on this Sunday's Official Top 40.

The track, which is currently number one on iTunes, is not chart eligible as it is also available for free when pre-ordering his forthcoming album The Next Day.

The Official Charts Company confirmed today that the track won't make the charts on Sunday as it "is linked to an album pre-order promotion".

....apparently Paddy Power has shortened the odds of a tour to 2/1...so it's looking good Stu...I might even see you there...I'll be the one with the ticket that says ..first one sold...

[Stu]

I'll be the one smelling of whiskey dressed up as a really dodgy Ziggy Stardust.

I'd still totally bum Bowie ... but he has to wear a red wig.

David Bowie's new single 'Where Are We Now?' could still chart in Sunday's Official Top 40, despite earlier reports stating it wasn't eligible.

The track, which is currently number one on iTunes, is available for free when pre-ordering his forthcoming album The Next Day. This would have prevented it from entering the chart.

However, the Official Charts Company has since said that sales of the single track do count towards the official Top 40, meaning 'Where Are We Now?' will enter if it achieves enough sales.

Their earlier statement read: "Owing to chart rules which are agreed in partnership with UK record companies and retailers, data relating to the David Bowie single 'Where Are We Now' cannot currently be counted towards the official singles charts, as the release is linked to an album pre-order promotion and it is not possible to distinguish album sales from track sales from the retail data received.

"Should it become possible in the future for regular track sales to be distinguished from album pre-order incentive purchases, then these sales can be counted towards the chart."

'Where Are We Now?' marks the singer's first new release in over a decade and shot to the top of the download chart less than a day after its surprise release yesterday.

Bowie has also seen a surge in sales of his hits collection The Best of Bowie since news of his upcoming studio LP was announced.

Lady GaGa recently praised 'Where Are We Now?' on her Twitter page, calling it "a moment of bliss".

To the surprise of just about everyone, David Bowie will release a new album, The Next Day, in March. Now, the record's producer Tony Visconti has shared some details about the sound of the album, as well as the recording process, with BBC News.

According to Visconti, The Next Day is "quite a rock album" with a mix of "classic Bowie" and "innovative Bowie," written over the past two years. He told the BBC he was surprised to see the downcast "Where Are We Now?" as the first single:

Visconti said that during the making of the album, Bowie was "smiling all the time, happy to be back in the studio." He said Bowie is "a very healthy man, I can assure you," countering rumors that Bowie's time away from the spotlight was due to health reasons.

I bought the song itself... never really preorder stuff.

[bbfan1991]

I have just listened to the song, it is very cool and refreshing from the same generic stuff that seems to get to number 1 these days!

[Iceman]

Charted at #9 today over here. Our charts go Friday - Friday 2 more days and i reckon it would have climbed up more.

[Iceman]

Incidentally its his highest charting single since 1986's absolute beginners.

[Iceman]

Also debuted at #9 in the netherlands....

[Shaun]

It's just charted at #6 in the UK his highest since 1983's "Absolute Beginners" (which was #2).

David Bowie is seemingly set to release a brand new track titled 'The Stars (Are Out Tonight)' later this month.

The singer, who will release his first new album in 10 years in March, posted a message on his official Facebook page at midnight today (February 17). The post did not include any concrete release details, but instead simply listed the date '02.26.13' and the title of the song along with a new picture, which you can see at the top of the page.

Bowie shocked fans and the media alike on January 8 of this year – his 66th birthday – when he broke his decade-long musical silence by unveiling a brand new track and accompanying video, 'Where Are We Now?', and announced that a new album, titled 'The Next Day', would follow in March.

The album has been produced by Bowie's longtime collaborator Tony Visconti and will be released in the UK and most countries worldwide on March 11. Australia will get the record three days earlier on March 8, while American fans will have to wait until March 12.

the full album can be streamed now on iTunes
